This is how local-yokel superstitions get started... Achtung! Zombie!
Sleeping Man Dressed as Zombie Mistaken for Corpse on Train in Germany
A drunken Halloween reveller in Germany found his costume was a little too realistic when he fell asleep on a train and was mistaken for a corpse.
Fellow passengers thought the man, who was dressed as a gore-covered zombie, had been murdered and called the police.
Police in the northern town of Bad Segeberg revealed how the 24-year-old had fallen into a drunken slumber on his way home from a Halloween party in Hamburg.
Believing his hands and face were smeared with blood, passengers alerted officers after getting no response from him.
A first aid team which was called to the scene soon cleared up the confusion, however.
Police told the man to remove his make-up, after which he was allowed to continue his journey.
Police spokeswoman Sikle Tobies said: "Bad Segeberg is in a rural area, and Halloween isn't very well known there.
"So people weren't expecting anyone to be dressed up in the train."
